'''up2date''', also known as the '''Red Hat Update Agent''', is a tool used by older versions of [[Red Hat Enterprise Linux]], [[CentOS]] and [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora Core]] that downloads and installs new software and upgrades the operating system. It functions as a front-end to the [[RPM Package Manager]] and adds advanced features such as automatic dependency resolution. The file {{mono|/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources}} specifies where up2date will search for packages.
